The best "Bins for the Birdies"

Crisp ,clear image and wonderful image stabiliser

The Price and not waterproof

These binoculars address the two main problems I had with my previous binos: - stability without a tripod - the image from the two lenses are in alignment they do both these things well. I am therefore very happy with them, and would recommend them.

Canon are famed for the quality of their optical equipment and rightly so. I bought these smart binoculars for my Mum over 15 years ago for her 70th birthday. An avid birdwatcher, 10 X 30 are ideal for this purpose and the image stabiliser function which basically eliminates the "shakes" greatly...

Crisp; clear image and wonderful image stabiliser

Expensive and could be waterproofed

Image stabilization; what a great concept! No more worrying about the caffine in that cola or coffee. Pay no attention to the wind. Ignore the bumps in the road (or the waves in the ocean). These Canon's perform beautifully in almost every circumstance.

These binoculars are amazing. I will never buy another pair without image stabilization. You can spend $2000+ on binocs and not have them be as clear and easy on the eyes as these.

Close Focus; Compact; Lightweight; Quality Lenses

Clear bright images; Easy to Use; Good design; Image stabiliser; Stylish carry pouch

No caps for main lenses

I have a mild resting tremor that has developed over the last several years. As a boater I need to use binoculars regularly, my old trusty Minolta Mariners would not do. The Canon is great. Even those of you without a tremor will notice how well the stabilization works.

From the moment I pulled the canon 10x30 IS Binoculars out of the rapid air freight bag (and only 2 days after ordering), I could feel that the weight and quality of the product were exactly what I was after, I put them through a few quick view tests and they were balanced and fantastic to use.
